SOLV Energy, a provider of large-scale solar energy services, has announced the award of contracts representing more than 6 gigawatts (GW) of new solar and storage projects across the United States. The announcement was made during the CLEANPOWER 2025 conference held in Phoenix. The projects will be developed in key states including Arizona, Mississippi, Nevada, Oregon, Texas and California. The signed agreements involve both longstanding partners such as Arevon, Clēnera and Sol Systems, as well as new clients including NewSun Energy, Enfinity Global and Panamint Capital.

Regional deployment and operational readiness

SOLV Energy plans to begin construction activities in 2025, with site mobilisation proceeding gradually by region. To ensure smooth project execution, the company is investing in the recruitment of local project managers who possess in-depth knowledge of regulatory constraints and permitting processes specific to each state. At the same time, SOLV Energy is expanding its training efforts to build qualified teams capable of managing large-scale projects efficiently.

Expansion of internal capacities following strategic acquisition

To reduce construction timelines and improve delivery quality, SOLV Energy is strengthening its internal execution capabilities. In January, the company completed the acquisition of SDI Services, LLC (formerly Sacramento Drilling), a specialist in foundation work for solar and transmission and distribution (T&D) projects. This acquisition allows SOLV Energy to bring pre-drilling and foundation installation activities in-house, thus enhancing its ability to operate on complex terrain and in demanding environmental conditions.

Competitiveness in a growing market

With this series of awarded projects, SOLV Energy aims to reinforce its position in a rapidly expanding market. George Hershman, Chief Executive Officer of the company, stated: “Demand for energy continues to grow rapidly, and we are committed to investing in the capabilities our customers need for larger and increasingly complex projects.” He added: “The significant number of projects we have secured this year reflects our customers’ recognition of the investments we have made to enhance our capabilities and our value as a true lifecycle provider.”
